NIDCR supports the following research resources:

Microbiology and Immunology Resources

Oral Pathogen Sequence Relational Database
A specialized database at the Los Alamos National Laboratory featuring multiple search and annotation features for the analysis of oral microbial genomes.

Microbial Large-Scale DNA Sequencing Projects

• Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans
• Actinomyces naeslundii
• Bacteroides forsythus
• Candida albicans
• Fusobacterium nucleatum
• Porphyromonas gingivalis
• Prevotella intermedia
• Streptococcus gordonii
• Streptococcus mitis
• Streptococcus mutans
• Streptococcus sanguis

Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center - DNA Microarrays

This facility produces and distributes genomic DNA microarray slides (“chips”) for oral pathogens. The facility serves as an important resource to the infectious diseases community wishing to investigate the genomics of oral pathogens. To this end, the facility provides at no cost high quality microarrays to laboratories studying oral pathogens. For more information and application instructions, click here.
